I've been trying to comment, but I think I have a "writer's block" or something as I'm too anxious with my home repairs. I've already been tolerating them for eight and a half months, half of which in exhale, and yesterday they finally started with damage repairs which could take weeks.
So I'm just commenting shortly.
@BuickMackane Nice to see you on this side! It's been a while. Nihongo o hanashimashoo! Well, that's about it. I also had my share of Japanese back in the days, and a 'natural' follow-up course.
@Anneri Great to hear your move is approaching and you are learning Chinese. I once tried to write a phonological paper on Chinese with a live subjet, but I gave up and switched to Japanese. As I understand, Chinese is not a difficult language per se, but to us Europeans, a tone language with various homophones can be difficult.
@Anitacska Good to hear you will soon have the house to yourself, and better Holidays than anticipated. Man, you Hungarians always boast your language! You have so much more active cases than in Finnish (a relative) etc. Buuut, If we compare the written and spoken language, Finnish is the language that differs to most in the world. Just saying.
@PearlyQueen How's the new job? Hope you're enjoying it.
@Fuzzy Hope you're feeling better!

Lancôme Rouge Reglisse (473N) with Chanel Le Top Coat Lamé Rouge Noir
I got 20% off of the Chanel, so I got it. Found the Lancôme in my stash, and noticed that it's a Chanel Rouge Noir dupe = a perfect pair for the TC.
Oh, and about
FF. I did pay a lot of taxes for the first direct haul, but last time when I called DHL to let them know that I would be handling the clearance by myself on the net (= for free), they said the package had been "liberated" and was already in delivery. I did not pay a cent! Now I have a third package on it's way. Let's see how it goes.
